Satco Lighting S16435 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Satco S16435 T8 LED tube work with my existing fluorescent ballast?
No. The S16435 is a Type B ballast bypass lamp, so the existing fluorescent ballast has to be removed and line voltage wired directly to the sockets. It runs on 120V to 277V at 50/60Hz. If you want a lamp that drops into a working ballast with no rewiring, you need a Type A plug-and-play tube instead.
2) Can I wire the Satco S16435 with power to one end only?
Yes. It is a single or double ended lamp, so you can feed line and neutral into one socket or split them across both ends. That flexibility matters on retrofits where you are reusing existing tombstones. Either way the ballast comes out first, since this is a bypass lamp.
3) How do I set the color temperature on this CCT selectable T8 LED?
The S16435 is field selectable among 4000K, 5000K and 6500K, so one part number covers a cool white through daylight range. Output shifts slightly with the setting: 2500 lumens at 4000K, 2600 at 5000K and 2450 at 6500K. For property managers standardizing a building, this lets you stock one lamp and match whatever is already in each area.
4) Can I use this Satco T8 LED tube in a parking garage or outdoor canopy fixture?
Only in covered, damp-rated locations indoors. The S16435 is rated for indoor use and damp locations, which covers things like covered walkways, kitchens and laundry rooms, but not wet locations or direct weather exposure. For an exposed outdoor fixture you need a wet-location-rated lamp or a sealed luminaire.
5) Does this Satco T8 LED qualify for a DLC utility rebate?
No. The S16435 is not DLC listed, so it will not qualify for utility programs that require a DLC-qualified product. It is Title 24 compliant and FCC compliant. If your project is driven by rebate eligibility, specify a DLC-listed tube instead.
6) Is this 18W T8 LED dimmable?
No. The S16435 is a non-dimmable lamp, and it is not three-way capable either. On a dimmer circuit expect flicker or no start, so put it on a plain switched or occupancy-sensor circuit.
7) How much light does an 18 watt LED T8 put out compared to the fluorescent it replaces?
Up to 2600 lumens from 18 watts, with a 360 degree beam spread so it lights the full fixture rather than throwing in one direction. Satco rates it equivalent to a 90W incandescent. Color rendering is 83 CRI, which is standard for general commercial and corridor lighting.
8) What current draw should I figure for circuiting a row of these 18W T8 LED tubes?
Current draw runs 0.150A to 0.645A per lamp depending on supply voltage across the 120V to 277V range, with the high end at 120V and the low end at 277V. Use the figure for your actual circuit voltage when counting lamps per branch.
9) Can the Satco S16435 be installed vertically in a wall-mount fixture?
Yes, burning position is universal, so it can be mounted horizontally, vertically or at any angle without affecting rated life. Rated average life is 50,000 hours.
10) Is the lens on this LED tube glass or plastic?
Plastic with a frosted finish, on a polycarbonate base. The frost diffuses the LEDs so you do not see individual diodes through the tube, and the plastic construction means no glass shards if a lamp is dropped during a relamp, which matters in food service and healthcare spaces.
